Babylone Buildings

I have no idea what he is saying, since I flunked my second year of French. But I love this CD, and this is one of the best tunes on it. I do know what Rastafari means, and I can follow along well enough.

Chris Combette is originally from French Guiana and also lived in Martinique. I love his sweet voice and phrasing, and very much wish I could translate the lyrics for you. (I can't find them anywhere on the net, in any language.)

Enjoy!

Babylone Buildings - Chris Combette

Free Planet Radio

Today, a visit to the Bohemian Cafe, where I was lucky enough to catch Free Planet Radio, a world music trio from Asheville, featuring (left to right, in photo) the talented Chris Rosser, River Guerguerian, and Eliot Wadopian. I was so impressed I bought their CD, The Unraveling (click on link for a listen)--conveniently being sold right next door at fabulous Horizon Records.

This was a special taping for WNCW's Tower of Song series.

Thanks for the fantastic jams!
